THE RELIGIOUS WORLD.
Women in surpliees.

Those who love church order and decency,
says an English paper, we're somewhat
startled few months ago upon reading of
the innovation of a surpliced female choir,
reported from Melbourne. This odd freak
has reached England, and was introduced at
a recent harvest festival in Yorkshire. We
refrain from mentioning the place or clergy
mans name, as some people are fond of in
Producing startling noveltie- in order to see
their names and an account of their own
peculiar fads in the newspapers. The ladies
wore supplies in shape not unlike an NJ. A.
gown, aud consist Of Scotch lawn with
pleated backs; and purple velvet caps, simi-
lar to those worn by d. c. LIS, complete
the attire. Upon the first introduction of
these novelties, Canon Liddon, on being
written 10, replied at is difficult to say
whether the spectacle of ladies dressed in
surplices, and 50 on, in church is more
irreverent than it is certainly grotesque. 1t
Is greatly TO be hoped that the good sense
and Christian feeling of the Australian
churches will steadily discourage anything
of the kind, aud especially for the sake of
the ladies concerned" With this opinion
all right minded people will agree, unless
they are fond of fads and new things.

Christianity and Islamism.

Canon Taylor, whose views regarding the
prospects of Christianity and Islamism in
Africa so startled his audience at the recent
church congress at Worverhampton. Eng
land, adhere@ TO his position. 1t is since the
congress that the bishop Of Durham has
candidly ayowed his belief that the XXXIX.
articles are i'll adapted to the limited intel
hgtnee and rude spiritual conceptions of
the African heather, and had therefore bet
ter be kept at home. Canon Taylor even
goes further, and says that the articles, ''as
well as the Pauline theology, are uuiuteI-
lgible TO cannibals, and even 10 Mo-lems,"
though he sees no reason why we should not
give them the three syuoptic gospels, which
they gladly receive and read IN a letter
recently published he begins to make good
with statistics his previous assertions mt the
church congress and in the Spectator, that
Christianity in Asia and Africa is failure.
while Mohammedani-m is "a success: and
that the cause, OF one cause, is that the
Christian standard is impracticably high for
degraded races. SavageS must first learn to
be manly; and "manliness, a feeling of the
dignity of human nature, is what Islam
teaches more effectively than any other
creed"

CHICAGO AND CINCINNATI SATURDAY, DECEMBER 3, 1897

We believe in S-"reSurrection from
the dead" and in Immortality; that the
soul departs Immediately at death from
it's mortal environment, is clothed with
spiritual body and enters upon the
other life; that death is the result of
divine plan, OF natures laws, and
there fore blessing; that in character
we reach the other life as we leave this
beginning there in a higher or lower
sphere, according to our preparation
here; that whatever probation signifies
it is the same there as here; that souls
are changed, taught, and led and saved
there as here; that moral and spiritual
laws are the same there as here; that
souls progress in knowledge, righteous
ness and happiness, there as here; that
we shall find ous highest delight in
sympathy, in helpfalness, and in active
kindnesses, thert as here; that all
things in the futus se world from top to
bottom, from center to circumference,
under Gods continued grace and the
SOULS continued freedom will drift un-
ceasingly toward perfect and eternal
goodness.
Finally: We believe that one of Gods
best gifts to markind is reason; that
this reason was designed for use; that
reason and conscience are the candles
of the Lord set within us and that we
ought humbly to Yak by their light;
that nothing is too holy, though it be
too high, for the Investigations of rea-
SOD; that through It's guidance consci-
entiously, reverensIy followed, we are
led as by the hand Of our father, and in
the way to whate "a truth we need or
comes within the limits of our compre-
hension.

The Rev. Mr.. Gregg, of the Park
Street Church, Boston, observed in his
sermon last Sunday morning, 4" 1 always
put an interrogation mark against the
man who is against the death penalty.
am suspicious Of any movement which
fsvors sparing those who have forfeited
their lives" There was much more in
the sermon in the same strain. Mr.. Gregg
is probably not blood-thirsty man; but
as we read his sermon, pitched in a stu,
dent key for this age, We could not help
thinking how natural it would have come
to Mr. Gregg to join in the cry Cruelty
him Cruelty himl" A minister Of Christ
is never more out Of his proper character
than when he gloats over blood.

talk. He has, little by little, lost his
self-respect and become chronic grum-
bier, blaming the churches and finding
fault with Providence. You turn away
from him sadly and wonder how far he
can be typical of the regiment of un-
employed ministers"
The churches and the country need
every minister and thousands more than
we have but they need men who are
filed with the spirit of faith and work,
who are ready to say to God and the
churches ''Here am 1; send me -
ready to go anywhere and take any kind
of church or an open field where there is
no church. Without speaking of the
West at all, there are hundreds of pas
torless churches in New England where
there are hundreds of churchless minis
ters. Why not get these needy churches
and needy ministers together ? What
hinders2 We suppose that both churches
and ministers are fastidious ard fussy
The churchless minister wants an ideal
church, and is waiting for that church
to discover and call him. The pastor
less church wants an ideal minister,
and is sampling the whole lot, trying to
decide upon one that will suit it, and in
the meantime losing its taste for the
gospel by tasting so many men.
OF course it is little mortifying for
a minister who has spent much time
and money preparing himself for this
great work to go about hat in hand,
asking, not to say begging, for call.
But the work of the Lord ought to be
put on higher plane than that of in
dividual taste and personal dignity.
| Were we to advise an unemployed min
lister, who had no doubt of his call to
serve God in the gospel, the first thing
we would bid him do would be to ascer-
tain which of the churches in the State
in which he lived were without pas
tors and then we would have him
make such inquiry as would lead to the
best information concerning them, and
then he should either go in person or
write Ito go in person would be better,
to the committee or officers of that
church and tell them that he was with
out charge at present, but was anx-
ious to be doing the Masters work, and
offer to come to them not as pastor,
but as minister of the gospel, and do
what he could under God, to take care
of their church and preach the gospel
till such time as they might be united
upon some man of God to become their
! pastor. He should stipulate for no sal
-at4, only for work Ihen he siaosaia
pray God to fill him with faith and the
Holy Ghost, and go to work not for
self, but for God and for souls. Let
him preach on the Sabbath the very
best gospel sermons he has, or can COM
pose, and during the week let him visit
from house to house, and by personal
conversation and other methods of spir-
itual effort endeavor to interest the
people in religious things.
We do not believe it would be long,
not many weeks certainly, before God
would pour out his spirit upon such a
field, worked in this manner, and a
gracious revival of religion would re-
suit. This would solve the problem
for at least one churchless minister and
one pastorless church.

TO hungry Christ, or like Hannah to make
coat for prophet, or like Deborah to rouse
the courage of some tlmid Barak in the Lords
conflict, we did our work in such a way that
il will stand the test of the Judgment. And
in the long procession of the redeemed that
march around the throne, may it be found
there are many there brought TO God through
our fundamentally and in whose rescue we
are eXultant.
But, o We unsaved, wait not for that re-
Iigious discourse of the future. 1t may come
after your obseguieS. 1t may come after the
stOne-cutter has chiseled your name on the
slab, fifty years before. Do not wait for a
great steamer of the Cunard or White Star
line to take you off the wreck, but hail the
first craft, with however low q mast and
however small a hulk, and however poor a
rudder and however weak captain. Better
disabled schooner that comes up in time
than a fuil-rigged brig that comes up after
you have sunken.
Instead of waiting for that religious dis.
course of the future-it may be forty, fifty
years off-take this plain invitation of a man
who, to have given you spiritual eyesight,
would be glad to be called the spittle by the
hand of Christ put on the eyes of a blind
man, and who would consider the highest
compliment of this service, if at the close five
hundred men should start from these doors,
saying: "Whether he be a sinner or no,
know not This one thing l know, whereas
| was blind now l see."
Swifter than shadows over the plain,
quicker than birds in their autumnal flight

heaven have already strung their instrument:
to celebrate your rescue.

Stings of Bees and Other Insects.

Singing insects always intiict q poi
sonous wound. The instrument of a
singing insect consists of two fine, sharp
darts, surrounded by tubular sheath,
which are connected at their bases with
special venom sack, and, when the sting
is inserted into the flesh, these venom
glands inject their poison down the
grooved darts, and thus inoculate the
victim.
Treatment-Many insects leave their
stings in the flesh, where they may
be detected as minute black specks
They should be extracted by pressing q
watch key over them, which will cause
them to protrude, and then using pair
of tweezers.
In moderate cases, local irritation,
which may be arrested by salt or harris
horn, is all that the wounded ones
suffer. But, if dizzy faintness be the
outcome, opiatcs and cordials must be
given. 1t may happen that a bee or
wasp is swallowed in taking a drink of
water hurriedly, or in the dark, and
from the moment the sting enters the
throat, the fauces swell so rapidly that
the patient is in immediate danger of
suffocation. A gargle of hot water and
salt should be used pending the arrival
of physician.

Dis grading the Flag.

Among the sights which greeted our eyes
on the Fourth, our great national holiday,
was one that ought to make every true Amer
lean blush.
We were enjoying our Fourth in delight

among our family, when suddenly, we heard
a great uproar somewhere near. we looked
down the road and what sight we beheldi

keg, which must have been a key of beerI
Alongside of the key lay a yonug man, dead
drltllE! Another young man was sitting beside
the keg and seemed to be trying to steady it,
although he looked as though some one ought
to "steadY" HIM The driver did not seem in
any better condition, and alongside the wag-
on walked three or four men, all of them
looking the worse from drink. Their con-
versltion was not very edifying, if we might

Did They Inherit 1T?

In letter from Erieville, NJ Y, to the
Pioneer, c. |. Hitchcock says: Some years
ago there was distillery on the farm joining
my fathers There were a number of men
who used to patronize it and carry away in
jugs, and, very often, in their stomachs, the
article distilled. Among the number were
two that remember very well, as they fire.
quently came and worked for father on the
farm. Last April was reminded of those
men, as the great grandson of one and the
grandson of the other came to me to get
work. They were. poorly clad, and their
boots but little better than none.
l could not think of sending them out in
the snow with such boots and furnished them
with some, expecting they would be honest
enough to work and pay for them. But
was disappointed. They both seemed devoid
of any moral principle, and neither of them
could read or write.
Is it not probable that the influence exerted
on those men by the use of the liquor made
at that old distillery is still shown in the
ives and conduct of these young men?
have pondered over it, and thought much
about the man who owned and ran the old
still. The last time | remember seeing him
he stood on the south side of his barn, with
head dropped, and seemed very thoughtful.
A friend OF his had shot himself a short time
before, and have often thought that he was
i'll deep study about his future prospects,
and perhaps had forebodings of the influence
he had exerted on those who had patronized
his distillery
Is there not too limited a view taken OF
intemperance! Can it be otherwise than that
the distiller, brewer, wholesale and retail
dealer in Intoxicating liquors, after they pass
away from this state of existence, will know
and realize the influence that their business
has exerted and is still exerting on those who
have dealt with theme
The suffering and privation endured by
persons intimately connected with those who
babitually use Intoxicating liquor is enough to
cause the least thoughtful to wish the whole
business annihilated, and when we carefully
investigate the subject and see the effects of
it, not only on those who use it, but ON gener-
ations yet to follow, are we not, most of u.s.
too Indifferent and too slack in our efforts to
endeavOr to convince those who are engaged
in the manufacture and sale Of it, that their
own best interests in this life and the life to
come require the entire abandonment of the
business. G., l. HITCHCoCR

Boxing the Ears.

DR.. Samuel Sexton has contributed an
article to the Medical Record on the sub
iect of boxing the ears. He has upon
his records fifty-one cases in which the
ear has been injured by blows of the
open hand or fist. OF these, thirty-one
were males and twenty females. Of the
males, thirteen had been boxed upon the
right ear, thirteen upon the left, and
three upon both ears. One was kicked
by a companion upon the left ear while
bathing, and the right ear of another
was injured by having the head violent
" squeezed between the hands of an
other person. OF the females, fourteen
were struck upon the left ear and six
upon the right. Five of the women
were assaulted by their husbands. Of
the entire number, eight were boxed in
play, four by school-teachers, two by
parents, and one, a fervent
lover, by his sweetheart Several
cases occurred among pugilists, and
others were due to assaults and brawlS.
The nature of the injuries varied to a
considerable degree. One had infam-
nation of the ear, with suspicion of in
tracranial trouble. He had had running
of the ear for twelve years, following a
blow upon that organ. This patient
subsequently died of brain disease. In
another case the ear became infamed,
and the hearing was very much impaired.
In still another, the patient was slapped
by his father upon the left ear. Immc-
date pain and deafness followed, with
a bloody discharge from the ear. 1t was
three months before this case recovered.
The dangers to which DR.. Sexton calls
attention are so grave that parents,
teachers, and others should never pun
ish those committed to their charge by
boxing the cars Science.

A Fish.HOOk in the Flesh.

The pain attendant upon an accident
of this kind often induces the sufferer to
wriggle the hook about until an open
ing is made in the flesh, large enough to
admit of its extraction. The better
plan is to push the hook rather in the
direction in which it started. An in
cision with some sharppointed instru-
ment may be necessary; force the hook
forward until it energies from the bot
tom of the incision, then, with clippers
or a file, break off the fiat handle of the
hook, and catching the remainder by
the point, pull it through the flesh.

BY What Right Does the Saloon
Exist 2

The saloon system can plead no constitu
tional guaranty. Even the absurd and oft
repeated claim of personal liberty" put
forth by the liquor drinker, does not apply
to the seller. If we admit the right to com.
init suicide, it does not prove the right to
commit murder. If have the right to de
stroy my usefulness and my life, by strong
drink or poisonous drugs, it does not follow
that you have the right to sell them to me,
knowing the use | will make of them.
Nor can the saloon system base its right tt
exist on any claim of usefulness. 1t is not a
legitimate branch of trade, supplying a
natural and healthfm demand, but, as we
have already seen, an active, treless agency
in the creation of an unnatural demand for
that which is only pernicious in its effects IL
its dreary pathway Of vice be illumined
by one good deed done for Gountry
or for humanity, it has not yet been
reported IL it has one redeeming
of wickedness, it has been most successfully
concealed. It's character, purpose and history
declare it to be a proper subject for political
ontlawry, without title to SYMPATHY, or the
right to be.
If society has the right of self-protection
against unjust taxation it most assuredly
may protect itself against the uneuualed
burden imposed by liquor traffic. If the
right exists to guard the community against
crime, corruption or the spread of contagious
disease, for a much stronger reason it exists
against the saloon, which ia. the known cause
OF more crime, corruption, disease and death
than any other agency.
The only honest ground on which the saloon
system can claim tine right to be, lis the right of
the individual to get money regardless of the
consequences to society. And for the same
reason that we punish criminals who put that
principle into practice, we have the right to
abolish the saloon. Hon VIM. Window.
